IntroductionHi Everybody, I'll show you how to do a waste leather in a 54mm little bag. This tecnique can be used in another leather surface if you want. The idea is represent a wasted cloth texturing (pointing) the surface, and after this add some cuts and another types of wear outs.

He hecho un pequeño croquis donde se marcan en rojo las luces más fuertes, en verde el tono medio y en azul la sombra máxima. Como veis en las zonas cercanas a la punta el tono medio nos hará el juego de sombra. En este caso, el tono medio nos servirá para marcar ciertas arrugas en la zona de sombra.Volume interpretationIn this type of cloths I like to force some wrinkles or create them to give more richness, always keeping the cenital pattern. Moreover being a 54mm miniature and a little zone, we don't have to be careful forcing contrast (if it's what we want).First of all I usually difference the basic volumes keeping a cenital pattern and after this I think which wrinkles could I mark more. In this case, obviosly the upper zone will be lighter and going down it will lose intensity.In the other hand, the miniature is slightly turned, that's why the left side will have more light than the right side.Here you are a little draw where you can see in red the strongest lights, in green the middle tone and in blue the darker shadows. As you can see in the edge zones the middle tone will do the shadows effects. In this case, the middle tone will help us to mark some wrinkles in the shadows zone.

Colours and base layerI have used Bestial brown (citadel) for the base layer, to iluminate I have used light orange, golden flesh and ice yellow (only in small parts and in maximum lights) all from vallejo model color. To shadowing, I have used dark flesh (citadel) and some purple ink for the last shadows and shadow outlines.The main idea is search the contrast between complementary colours thanks to yellowish lights and the shadows in purple. The yellow is also a warm colour and the purple is a cold colour to the shadows. In the final lights I use some ice yellow to desaturate them because this colour contains a little bit of white.For the base colour, I only use a bestial brown layer. Remember the base should be uniform and don't insist between layers until it's completly dried.

Primera Luz

Añado un poco de naranja claro al color base y punteando marco prácticamente toda la prenda excepto la zona de luz. Como trabajo previo a veces, hago esta luz a modo de degradado y luego paso a puntear.First LightI add a bit part of light orange to the base colour and pointing I marke all the cloth except the light zone. As a previous work, I made this light as a degree and after this I point the surface.

Not to much intense lightsGently and little by little I continue adding more light orange while I reduce the surface that I'm pointing.It's similar than a degree but pointing, the difference is if we leave a circle it doesn't matter, and the paints doesn't have to be very liquid.

Moreover, I try to simulate some cuts. To do it, I made some lines using bestial brown, and another ones using bestial brown and purple ink (for the deepest ones), and after that outline then in lights using golden flesh and ice yellow.

Por otro lado, velo con carne oscura en algunos cortes y en la zona del tono medio.Final touchsSome cuts are very big and the cenital pattern is not well applied, because there is too much light in the left side. To solve this, I point the zones, marked in red in the first step, with the colours that I used to iluminate, mainly using golden flesh.To the shadows, I glaze using dark flesh in some cuts and in the middle zone where necessary.

I very much like your toturial but i have one problem with it, you write that you used a color called golden flesh and it´s part of the Vallejo model color i can´t find it anywhere in there line up of colors.Is it possible that you could post a picture of the bottle with the number on it, as it might help me track it down.
